Early life and education

Born in Bristol, Martini was raised in villages in

A Levels at Churchill Academy and Sixth Form,[4][5]
she began an arts foundation course. However, a teacher suggested that if she was interested in acting, then she should try it.

After failing to get into

RADA on her first attempt, Martini joined a one-year programme at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, where the company wrote their own plays that they produced in local schools.[2][6] She was subsequently accepted into RADA the following year.[2]

Career

During Martini's third year at RADA, she played the supporting role of a suspect in an episode of the TV series

ITV's 2017 production Prime Suspect 1973, a prequel to the TV series Prime Suspect which had starred Helen Mirren.[8] She also played Sophia de Haviland in the 2017 film Crooked House, an adaptation of the Agatha Christie novel of the same name.[9]

From 2020 to 2022, Martini portrayed Eadith in the Netflix series The Last Kingdom for seasons four and five.[10] She will star in the World War II science fiction drama Lola, scheduled to be released in early August 2023.[11]

Personal life

On 26 June 2021, Martini came out as bisexual in an Instagram post.[12] Since late 2021, Martini has been in a relationship with English Intimacy Coordinator/model El Wood, which she announced publicly on social media on 1 January 2022.[13]
